Yeah.

And it's hard to say, but yes, because I like where I am now, but I wouldn't want to redo it.

Right.

About 6% of orthopedic surgeons are women.

I've been accused of being naive about many things, but I was actually quite naive about that when I applied.

I didn't actually really know that, which is odd.

It's very obvious.

It should have been obvious.

You know, you do a visiting rotation here or there.

You don't see many female orthopedic surgeons, but I think I just see people for people.

And so I've always had like a lot of male friends.

I also have female friends.

And it's kind of funny why we go on these rotations.

I just had...

a great experience everywhere I was.

I really enjoyed the people I was working with.

It was fun.

I was learning a lot.

It didn't really cross my mind that there were like no female attendings or maybe one or two at various places and, you know, one female resident.

I mean, I of course noticed it, but I didn't kind of think about like, what is the true statistic?
